  • Artist: Kerry Roper

    Title: 'Time Waits'

    Edit: /69

    Spec: 3 colour hand pulled screen print

  • The artist attended the studio before the final black went down to apply some 'automatic writing' style scribbles and embellishmens on the prints. Each set of marks differed, ranging from the most delicate of flourishes to heavy scribble and scrawl. Ensuring that each and every one of these was unique.

    GFSmith Colorplan 290 gsm stock used (guillotine edged).

EXHIBITED AND PUBLISHED.

The print was exhibited as part of the Victoria & Albert museum’s ‘Touring Street Art Exhibition’. The V&A speaks of the works: “…we collected these works in an effort to capture an ephemeral contemporary aesthetic and a form of printmaking that have influenced mainstream graphics. Most notably recent advertising has been using the language of street stencils, plundering underground visuals in an effort to appeal to the young consumer.”

‘Time Waits’ was also used for the cover sleeve of the book that accompanies the exhibition! Street Art: Contemporary Prints by Riikka Kuittinen.
